The idea is pretty simple: I’m a power user. I have about 30 different folders. Each folder is it’s own category. I would love to be able to change the default icon of a folder. The ideal for me would be to allow me to upload my own small png file, that way I could customise each folder precisely. I mean, websites and feeds have a little icon next to them, surely if I had a png of a logo that size then newsblur would be able to display it. A simpler version of this idea is let users choose between 100 plus pre approved icons that are included in the app by default. If that is the method then I would appreciate being able to select different colours for the icon, that way I could use the same icon twice on two different folders and still be able to tell them apart.
Sam you’re the best!
And launched: Custom icons for folders and feeds | The NewsBlur Blog
This is such a fun feature! I’ve already configured all of my folder icons and I’m working on the icon-less feeds now.
I cant believe how well this was implemented, and how quickly. Thanks so much! My only remaining suggestion is to allow users to make the folder icon larger
Can this be implemented in the apps too?
On its way! It’s actually done in both, just waiting on launch. Android will come sooner (probably this week? PR is in) but iOS is still waiting on iOS 26 fixes that broke story reading. We’re working on it! @Dejal @andrei
Say more about larger folder icons. Wouldn’t that break things?
I understand what you mean. Perhaps you could allow the user to lets say double the folder icon size. That could be a visual way to easily discern folders from feeds, though of course that’s not a problem I ever encounter. Perhaps Im asking for too much of a good thing!
You might be on to something. We do have Custom CSS. What would be nice would be to somehow have the Claude agent SDK available to users so you could prompt it, get custom css out, and tweak it until satisfied. In the meantime you can do this with the GitHub repository and then paste in the custom css after asking Claude to turn the change into a snippet
